Tan Siok Siok: Library #1 – Xiang Zi Cha Elementary School
Apr 15th, 2009 by tomstader
The Library Project donated over 250 Chinese language children’s books, a bookshelf and a globe to the Xiang Zi Cha Elementary School. There are 4 students that attend grades 1-2 at Xiang Zi Cha Elementary School. We also donated colorful paint for the old desks and stools, and white paint for the walls to brighten the classroom up.
Xiang Zi Cha Elementary School is located in rural Lantian County in the Shaanxi Province of China.
This library donation was made possible because of a generous donation from Tan Siok Siok through her documentary, Boomtown Beijing. Tan Siok Siok held charity screenings of Boomtown Beijing that 100% of the profits went toward providing five libraries to rural elementary schools in China.
Over the next few days we will be posting a new “Tan Siok Siok Library” to our TLP Blog.
Tan Siok Siok believed in The Library Project at a time when we had only donated 15 libraries in total. She helped spread the word about our mission to thousands of people thoughout China and the world. She not only helped improve the education that the students that attend the five elementary schools that she raised donations for, but she also helped us grow into the organization that we are today. Thank you Tan Siok Siok!

Siok and Thomas: ‘
You guys are amazing…
Beautiful…..
Amazing pictures! I really liked them. I’m also a big fan of the Library project. We are promoting their initiative on our site too. I think it will really help the children in China that they have new schools and new materials. Even if the schools don’t have much students. To see that you have been given a chance to start fresh again, is motivating and gives you new hope, I think.
